Sixième secondaire

French to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy grade transcript
Bonjour,
Je traduis un relevé de note du Zaïre du français vers l'anglais (pour le système canadien). En tête du relevé est inscrit:
Bulletin de sixième secondaire commerciale et administrative.
Je cherche à comprendre ce qu'est une "sixième secondaire" dans ce contexte. L'étudiante aurait eu 21-22 ans à l'époque, donc il ne s'agit pas de la sixième d'un lycée ou d'une école intermédiaire. Quelqu'un est-il familiarisé avec le système d'études de ce pays? Merci beaucoup d'avance
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion

@ all agree that it's not unusual in some places to have older students in secondary.
Libby Cohen Jul 1, 2021:
Tout à fait d'accord avec Robin Levey - mais cela pourrait également s'appliquer aussi à l'Europe : moi j'ai enseigné en Norvège, dans une école sécondaire commerciale où on voit souvent des élèves plus agés que dans nos écoles secondaires au Canada.
Jennifer Levey Jul 1, 2021:
Dans les pays en voie de développement il n’est pas du tout rare trouver de lycéens de plus de vingt ans.
